Scope

- To promote innovation and development in the country's fintech space, Taiwan Financial Supervisory Commission established a fintech office and a dedicated fintech development fund of TWD1bn ($30.8m) in 2015. During the same year, the government also legalized third-party payment platforms by amending the Act Governing Electronic Payment Institutions, allowing non-banking companies to offer third-party electronic payment services. These initiatives are expected to support growth in electronic payments.- Rising smartphone use for payments and banks increased focus on cashless payments have led to a proliferation of mobile payments based on NFC. Samsung Pay was launched in May 2017 in collaboration with seven Taiwanese banks, while Android Pay was launched in June 2017 in collaboration with Chinatrust Commercial Bank (CTBC Bank) and First Commercial Bank.- PayPal suspended its domestic money transfer service in Taiwan in September 2015 in response to new government regulation. According to the regulation passed by the Financial Supervisory Commission in May 2015, any company not registered in Taiwan is barred from processing domestic payments under the Electronics Payment Processing Institutions Act. Users with Taiwanese PayPal accounts are unable to either send or receive funds domestically, but are able to send and receive payments internationally.
